Seasonal Activity Chart
Perch
For Perch enthusiasts, Washington Island, Wisconsin, offers a chance to target these panfish in the vast waters of Lake Michigan. While seemingly simple, Perch fishing here requires understanding their seasonal movements and preferred habitats. Fall is arguably the best time, as Perch school up in larger numbers before winter. Look for them in deeper water near structure, such as rock piles or sunken debris. A popular technique involves using a slip bobber rig with live minnows or perch eyes. Keep in mind that water temperature plays a crucial role in Perch activity. They tend to be most active when the water is between 55 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. A local's secret: try fishing near the ferry docks, as the constant movement stirs up the bottom and attracts Perch. Be prepared to move around until you locate a school, as they can be nomadic. The Perch around Washington Island are known for their excellent table fare, making the effort worthwhile.
